Abstract: In this profile, we use the 2015 and 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year IPUMS data to examine the prevalence of older adult household heads living with an adult roommate or living with a sibling. We also assess the age of the youngest roommate in the household as well as the marital status and race/ethnicity of the older adult household head in these two living arrangements. We define older adults as those who are 50 years or older. In our analysis, living with an adult roommate and living with a sibling are not treated as mutually exclusive categories (see Figure 1 for more information). This is an update to our previous profile on living with a roommate or sibling in later-life (Wu, 2018).
